Holloway is a Gas Legend, brilliant footballer for Rovers, in fact the more and more I think about it, the more I am convinced he was probably in the top two or three central right hand side midfielders to ever pull on the quarters, we certainly have not ever replaced him since he left the club to follow Gerry to QPR. Anybody who gets ****ed at some hotel in the city and retrospectively calls Ollie every name under the sun, has not got any ******* respect for a Gas legend, who I personally hope, once all the non Gasheads who currently own and / or run the club have ******* off back down the M4 to Kensington, Ollie is given the mangers job once again.

With respect Justinblue . I have not repeated 1word of the conversation with Holloway . Just that he certainly didn’t say anything that indicated any affection for BRFC, far from it , as regards Bristolian accent . I didn’t say I disliked it ,,what I was implying was Holloway plays on the village turnip persona ,,it has made him a good living with the mainstream media for years , UTG. And whats wrong with being Bristolian and having a Bristolian accent ? Holloway is Gas "through and through", football pundits and the football community around the country love him, that is why he is popular, and makes a shed load of £s, best of luck to him.

Fair enough you never repeated a word, but let's say you conveyed an oppinion based on your meeting which you describe as a missfortune. In regard to the persona you describe insultingly as village turnip wel if it's made him a good living people obviousely liked it. I don't know if you formed your oppinion before Asdacarparkgate or after or under what circumstances the meeting occurred. What I do know is that Celebrity type people are just people in their day to day life's and might not be as nice as their celebrity persona. I've never met Holloway, which may be a good thing as some say you should never meet your heroes. I still think he's a legend. UTG

I conveyed an opinion at the relative merits of Ian Holloway are being discussed via this thread . In answer to your comments ,, I had no particular like or dislike for him ,, I was however extremely shocked at what he said ,,, anyway ,totally respect your opinion ,and that of others who love him , I just don’t buy into it , all the best UTG,

Absolutely nothing wrong with being Bristolian... having lived in other places ,,, Bristol is a fantastic place to live , multicultural, bohemian and friendly, however there is a comedic response to the strong Bristolian accent , Holloway has always cashed in on that, fine , no problem with that , just in my opinion he spends more time playing to that persona, than talking any sense UTG

Utg Wait, Wael has money to stay in Kensington..? I wasn't pis sed old chap, merely repeating what he said, which I clearly heard in a state of total sobriety because I was driving. If Holloway didn't spend his playing career saying how much he loved the Gas before twice going off to other clubs, if he didn't do the same as a manager with us, before proclaiming his blood ran the colour of every other club he subsequently managed then provide the evidence. I have already said I enjoyed watching him play, and enjoyed watching his teams when manager. I have a different opinion on what constitutes a club legend. I believe I have the right to express my opinion, you have the right to accuse me of being a pis s head. Ive provided evidence to support my opinion, please supply your evidence that I was pis sed when Holloway attacked the owners and BOD over the Holtby affair. Over to you.

Perhaps you think he should speak in an Oxford brogue and never say anything amusing. Ollie is who he is he's not ashamed of his Bristol roots. He has personity which is rare in football these days imo, love him or hate him he's a one off.

Holloway and mouriniho are the only 2 managers who are entertaining, the rest of the time you may as well interview the same person.

I think I would (apart from the predictable ‘dust ourselves down’ comment).

I think one problem with Ian Holloway is that it can sometimes seem that he is bitter about Rovers. I was at that do at Jury’s so witnessed the whole thing and I have to say I was taken aback. Ollie was a real hero to me as a nipper, he opitomised what being Gas was all about. I think that perceived bitterness is a deep sadness because he knows, like we all do, that with the right people at the helm and the right infrastructure we could have one hell of a club on our hands and the lack of progression frustrates him. Anyway that’s my take on it.

Anyway that’s my take on it. The failure of the board to replace Mauge in THAT season cost the club very dear. I always think a mistake of such proportion, as I really believe we would have been in the new "Championship", that we have never truly recovered.

I always think a mistake of such proportion, as I really believe we would have been in the new "Championship", that we have never truly recovered. I agree, with the owners then,and if we had brought the right quality players in then we would had walked to promotion.We were 10 points clear with 8 games to go weren't we? Its the same to our first season back in L1 a couple of seasons ago under DC.The team we had than,and the way we were playing along with how tight the league was - if we had been able to keep Taylor and added a player or two then we could easliy had made it a historic Triple promotion via the playoffs. DC, nor us have been the same since.

Ronnie mauge did nothing but stand in the centre circle looking tough, and doing next to nothing all game. Please explain the myth which is Ronnie mauge.
